My Marfy shorts are nearly complete. I was going to get up this morning and stitch on the hook closure at the waist. There were lots of things I was going to do this morning. I lay awake half the night thinking about them, then fell asleep at dawn and got nothing done. Anyways, a quick photo before my photographer went to work and here they are, hook to be sewn on later.
Pattern: Marfy 1668
Fabric: Linen from Tessuti
The patch pockets with the flaps seem to give them a squarish, mannish sort of look, so I find they best suit more girly tops. I made this top before I started blogging. It is Simplicity 5055, with the sleeves from another Simplicity pattern that I have since thrown out. The fabric was from Knitwit.

I will put some pattern, fit and construction details in a pattern review.

What are a gorgeous outfit - the colours, the fabrics, everything is rocking! Got to love those pockets.
Nice shorts! I like the pocket details and the fabric. You should get a lot of wear out these this summer.
Great shorts - I agree, the girly top balances out the style of the shorts nicely. Cool pocket placement, too!
Nice shorts Katherine. They look like the some of thing that would be easily to match. Interesting pocket. Very nice.
I'm envious that you are wearing shorts right now. I love that they are linen. Neat little pocket, too.
Wow! I am dead impressed with your welt pocket on the side. Thanks for showing us how you did it.
They look great and that zippered welt pocket is fantastic!
Such nice shorts. It looks like the welt turned out well and I like the flap pockets too.
don't Tessutis stock the best linens. Love the detailing in these shorts.
These shorts are lovely. Yay for summer!
That welt pocket is totally adorable, I think I might have to borrow this idea sometime! A really nice touch!
Lovely shorts, the pocket detail is very clever.
I love the pocket!
